On Good Friday, we went to Ballinger to see my Grandparents.
We celebrated my Grandmother's birthday and my Grandpa getting a new cornea and him regaining some of his sight! Praise Jesus!!!

I love, love, love this baby blanket I made. The nursery was being done in black and white and I did have reservations about a black and white baby blanket. Boy, was I wrong... I love this blanket!

A Little Project

This is in Anthropologie and DIY showoff inspired project. For a long time, I have been searching with something to do with this old window I found at my Great-grandparents house. I found the instructions here:
http://thediyclub.com/2010/11/roeshels-vintage-window-mirror/
I decided that I didn't want to glue down the fabric to the window. I simply stapled fabric to the frame so I could switch it out if I would like to.

Now, what to put around/ with it... let the junk hunt begin!

Tiny Handcuffs

One of my favorite things about being a kindergarten teacher is the tiny toys I get to play with! These have been floating around the school I work at and today, they fell into my hands...so I decided to have a little fun- you know... because I have so much spare time on my hands!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you
THE TOP TEN THINGS TO DO WITH TINY HANDCUFFS!

#10 Play the game- which wise man has a secret?

#9 - Make sure your husband's mounted fox stays put!

#8 - Make sure Mickey never sasses you again.

#7- Never lose your keys again.

#6- Put a surprise in your advent calendar.

#5-Keep your kids shoes matched up.

#4 - Use them as child safety locks.

#3 restrain your cat, but be careful - it can still bite!

#2-handcuff every dumdum you see.

And the NUMBER ONE thing to do with tiny handcuff is...
If someone takes their shoe off and tries to throw it at you,
just handcuff their toes together!
